I cannot find it on youtube, but I always loved the scene on Y&R when Sharon confronted Nick about his affair with Phyllis and she was wearing the exact Lingerie as Phyllis wore...

I've never watched the actual scene, but judging from the transcript alone, Rachel and Alice's confrontation at the latter's engagement party, where Rachel confessed she was carrying Steve's baby, has to be, hands-down, one of the greatest confrontations of all time.

 

Oh, well.  I guess I'll have to settle for the re-enactments on "Maury."   

An oldie I stumbled on: from GL in 1966, Bert Bauer confronting Maggie Scott, who’d had an affair with Bill Bauer. Like this is real grown-ass women talk and no pyrotechnics:

Am I the only one who felt a little uneasy watching that first ad with the bombing imagery, considering the Vietnam War was at its peak at the time?

What initially came to mind was Rebecca Budig's Greenlee and her endless tirades across Pine Valley. She really was the Sami of AMC. She could do a knock down drag out like no one else on that show. Erica's wedding to Jackson, the surrogacy reveal with Kendell and Ryan, or her just dragging people left and right because it was a random Wednesday. Rebecca was in her element in that role.

Lucky confronting Elizabeth and Nikolas about their affair.

 

Another epic tear down if there ever was one, with the added impact of having an amazing actor who originated the role be the one to deliver the confrontation. Jonathan Jackson coming back was worth it just for those scenes alone. Greg Vaughn wouldn't have been able to do Lucky justice in that episode. You truly felt every single sense of betrayal from him, and that confrontation with Liz was a long time coming. He took 7 years of Liz's betrayal and really laid her out to dry in those scenes. It was karma for her infidelities with both Jason and Nikolas there.

I should have embedded it to skip the ads. But I love that those 1966 clips exist. I think @DRW50 mentioned it was some of Agnes Nixon’s last work on GL?

I think so - yeah. It's been so long...

 

Thanks for posting this. Honestly I think it's a much better scene for Charita than the scene of Bert telling Ed he isn't fit to shine Mike's shoes that got played for the anniversary special. That one never entirely feels believable to me.

THIS. 

 

I said this a few weeks ago. And if I remembered correctly, they did it on a Friday...and the wait for the next episode was crazy.

 

And in case...no one mentioned it yet...Sami vs Nicole over the Baby Switch on DAYS

A friend of mine, who is a Peyton Place fanatic, posted this and said watch from 6:52 to 10:32 (although maybe start at 5:26 for context). It’s not a knockdown, drag-out “confrontation,” but a tense discussion between a daughter and her mother (played by Barbara Rush) about life choices and the responsibilities of love and sex. Really smart and nuanced dialogue.

All these years later, Marie-Alise Recasner's delivery of that line still cracks me up. 😂

Is that the scene that Strasser describes as her running from one side of the studio to the other during commercial breaks to finish the scenes?

 

She certainly spoke highly of it well into the 1990’s, 2000’s.

Yeah, Robin talks about being visibly pregnant IRL and fans not believing she was actually expecting as she ran up and down the staircase during those scenes.

A recent one: Eileen Davidson’s Emmy submission as Kristen when she confronted Marlena and taunted her about John. Just so unhinged. “He was ALL OVER ME! He was EVERYWHERE!”
 

 

This 1983 DAYS clip was posted here months ago and I had only read a little about it beforehand. But Renee DiMera (Philece Sampler) confronting Alex and basically all of Salem at a party before she was murdered. It’s one of the most powerful soap scenes I’ve ever seen.

 

 

Omg I remember this scene with Marlena and Kristen. Eileen was on fire in her return to the role. This scene is one of the reasons Stacy Haiduk will never truly be Kristen to me. Sucks Eileen hates it at Days. But they wasted her on her last two returns.

Really? Where has Eileen stated or hinted that she hates it at Days?

Oh this was fantastic! It appears Bill Bell modeled Stephanie/Brooke after Jill/Katherine a bit.

 

I didn’t realize Brooke was already a ho in the early years of Bold. It’s amazing that literally nothing has changed about her except Stephanie’s dead.

I recall reading an interview where she found the taping schedule to be a lot and to be happy back at Y&R. It’s been some years since I read it. I believe the pay was an issue as well. As I said it’s been years so maybe I’m misremembering.
